Kansas Home Warranty Coverage: The Ashlar Homes Promise
From the first walk through your new front door to the first night spent in your own space, buying a home is a milestone worth celebrating. Ashlar Homes stands behind that journey with a warranty you can count on.
Whether you’re settling down in Olathe, Overland Park, Gardner, or any of our vibrant Kansas City suburbs, our goal is to stand behind every home we build and every family we serve.
Why a Home Warranty Matters for Kansas Homebuyers
Kansas weather can be unpredictable. Between the summer heat and the winter chill, your home will experience a little bit of everything. The last thing any homeowner wants is to face unexpected repairs or hidden costs right after moving in.
Unlike homeowners insurance, which protects against disasters like fire or storms, a home warranty covers the everyday wear and tear on your major systems and structure. It’s your safeguard against the “what-ifs”, and a powerful way to protect your budget, your comfort, and your peace of mind.
You deserve to know your builder has your back. Our homeowners often tell us they value open communication, transparency, and a relationship that lasts beyond move-in day, not just a handshake at closing.

What’s Included in the Ashlar Homes Warranty Program
The Three-Tiered Warranty Structure
Our Kansas home warranty is organized in three tiers, each covering a different part of your home. This setup makes it easy to know what’s protected and gives you confidence that we’re here if anything comes up.
1-Year Workmanship & Materials Warranty
